Financial Results:

First Quarter 2014 Compared to Fourth Quarter 2013

Due to the restructuring and streamlining of the business in mid-2013, we believe a financial comparison to the prior sequential quarter ending December 31, 2013 is more appropriate than a year-over-year comparison. For the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, revenues increased 36% to $1.6 million, as compared to $1.2 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013. The increase in revenue is due to the increases in prescriptions, patients and sales per prescription. Gross margins improved to 21%, up from 17% in the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating loss for the first quarter of 2014 improved by approximately $160,000, from $709,000 in the fourth quarter of 2014 to $550,000 in the first quarter of 2014. The Company’s net loss for the first quarter of 2014 decreased by approximately $581,000, from $456,000 net income in the fourth quarter of 2013 to $125,000 in net loss for the first quarter 2014. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to a $213,000 gain in the first quarter 2014 which was partially offset by improvements in interest expense and gains on changes in fair market value of derivative and warrant liability.
